Sunderland is a UK outlier in how we deliver RRT to our patients, predominately using renal specialist prescribed dialysis (often SLED) rather than critical care physician prescribed CVVHF.Clearly we feel there is a benefit to this practice, but as an outlier we should be mindful that we’re not blindly carrying on when we shouldn’t.

The CONVINT trial is the latest to compare CVVHF to IHD in the critical care population.
